  1. I absolutely adore my sister but she will chat non stop about anything and everything under the sun- drives me crazy but sometimes I just need to let her talk........................
  2. I like the last one best I think. I also like the 4th one.
  3. Well, I think the point of her post was that she didn't feel she had anything to prove to anyone, including herself, which is why she could bail when the conditions were less than ideal and not feel bad about it. Realizing that you don't NEED to compete or prove yourself is not the same thing as quitting. And of course that also means that there is no reason for me to defend her but your post is kind of ________(insert word of choice here ), you know?
  4. In the video, probably not. It was still super cute, and the cat was obviously happy to see the dog and wanted to play. Besides, I don't buy that cats don't "hug" to show affection because I had a cat that did. He would stand on his hind legs and wrap his front legs around my neck and nuzzle my face. And I didn't put catnip on my shoulder to get him to do it either.
  5. I had a cat that would give me hugs- probably more to humor me than out of affection, but then again, if he was just doing it to humor me, he must have loved me, right? He would also "hug" and snuggle with my other cat. I think this cat just wanted to play with the dog- that "hug" was more of an attempt at a diving tackle but the dog kept ignoring him. Most cats have a bit of OCD in them and don't give up easily. The cutest thing about the video was the dog's nonchalant reaction to it.

    PB&J protocol

    I have to admit, there is something about Goobers. But now I do almond butter and fruit spread - sometimes on a flour tortilla, sometimes whole grain bread.
  7. Three is good. One really isn't enough, two is good so why not three? Once you hit four you're pushing the envelope but I think you need at least five before you hit crazy cat lady territory.
  8. Well one thing about cow shit- it's mostly grass!
  9. Butt slide in a cow pasture- very shitty landing! And I can't blame anyone but myself for the spot.
  10. I went from butt slides to face plants after I got my first set of pretty new gear!
  11. Thank you for posting the article, and Hannah, thank you for writing it!
  12. Very true but I think some of these people would behave the same way even if they couldn't use their kids as an excuse. Management all too often enables bad behavior to avoid confrontations.
  13. I used to run into that fairly often at a previous job to be honest. Very annoying for example when EVERYONE is expected to work overtime and one person is always pulling the kid card and leaving on time, or when the people with kids get extra consideration around the holidays. I flat out told my boss once that just because I did not have kids did not mean that I didn't have a family or important things to do. And don't get me started on "snow days" when it takes 2 hours to get in to the office and all the folks with kids stayed home because the schools were closed! And the fact that the offenders are generally burning their paid time off doesn't always help when you are the one staying late to cover the slack.
  14. The guys are too busy coming up with "new" Bruce Jenner jokes. I haven't read the article yet but thank you for sharing your story. Your openness and honesty will help others on so many levels.

    50 shades

    Pretty much sums it up!
  16. I think its cute but not worth what you paid and she can't drink coffee out of a vase. But I'm sure she'll still think of you and/or her achievement every time she picks up fresh flowers from the market. It was a lovely thought and not many people would think to mark the occasion. I'm sure your friend really appreciates it; a gift like that would make my day. Remember, it's the thought that counts.
  17. I flew Iceland Air for my European adventure. We stopped in Reykjavik and deplaned but I think they just wanted us to buy sweaters at the duty free shop.
  18. Mexico Iceland (never left the airport) Luxembourg France Belgium Germany England Scotland Ireland Northern Ireland Holland/Netherlands Denmark Switzerland Italy Greece Yugoslavia (when it was still Yugoslavia) Austria and Texas we're counting that, right? I think that's it. I spent a summer in Europe with a backpack, train pass and youth hostel card back in the day.
  19. I guess that makes 2 for me then. Mexico and Texas.
  20. Too soon, and from what I hear, they removed life support early yesterday. I believe the real issue is brain function because no one knows exactly how long she was under water before her brusband started CPR.
  21. There was this heavy set newbie who used to jump and pack in sweat pants, displaying full on plumber's ass for everyone in the hangar to enjoy. Someone started calling him BC for butt crack. When he asked what his cool skydiving nickname meant, he was told "Before Cessna". He really enjoyed having such a cool skydiving nickname. It was years before he found out the truth and even then he still enjoyed his cool skydiving nickname.
  22. I agree with buying the part and doing the work yourself if you can. I wouldn't be still driving my 1999 beetle if it weren't for discounted parts, and my SO plus his handy friends who don't mind working on my car for hot meals and gratitude.
